Steelers bring back Dangerfield on one-year deal

The Steelers declined to make a tender offer to restricted free agent Jordan Dangerfield earlier in the week, making him an unrestricted free agent as of 4 p.m. Wednesday.

He wasn't gone long.

The Steelers signed Dangerfield to a one-year deal on Friday morning, keeping one of their best special teams players in the fold.

Dangerfield, 29, has been with the Steelers in some capacity since 2014. The former Towson University star initially signed with the Bills in 2013 as an undrafted free agent but was released. The Steelers signed him in 2014 and he was on their practice squad the next two seasons before earning a spot on the 53-man roster in 2016.
